Dayne Logan works as an assistant professor of communication at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa, where he teaches primarily journalism and new media courses. Previously, he worked in the magazine and newspaper industries as a reporter, editor and app developer. Although classroom instruction is his primary focus, he remains a writer and editor at heart. He stays connected to his field by freelancing for clients such as Allstate Insurance, Bryn Mawr College and — most recently — Kybele. Dayne’s work as editor of Kybele’s e-newsletter allows him to keep his editing skills sharp while supporting a cause he believes in. It also gives him some nice real-world examples to inject into classroom discussions and assignments.

Kybele is a non-profit 501(c)3 humanitarian organization dedicated to improving childbirth safety worldwide through educational partnerships. The role of Kybele is to bring professional medical teams into host countries, to work alongside doctors and nurses in their home hospitals, and to improve healthcare standards. Kybele volunteers model teamwork and compassion in real life and death situations, sharing knowledge when it matters the most.
